Halloween

[outsidetheparty]

Once again with the your-party-will-be-more-successful-if-you-remember-to-invite-people-to-it:

Halloween. I'm thinking the weekend after, both because of squirrelhaven's out-of-townness and because it maximizes the chance of our house not still having a big hole in it.

More formal invitations will be forthcoming; this is mostly an availability check:  are you all free on November three?   Or would november two be better for you?

(As for the event itself: we were batting around several ideas, andsylvantechie made a suggestion which has been growing on me:  let's play Assumption.   Which if you don't know what that is, it's sort of like poker, but with creepy undertones.  It's also possible I'll build a labyrinth of some sort because I've been thinking that might be fun; if anyone's interested in helping with the design or the construction or both, let me know.)

[ETA:  if the idea of a card game fills you with meh, please don't let that dissuade you from coming; the intent is for it to be a thing that happens during the party, not the thing that is the party.]

Either Nov 2 or 3 would be fine by me. :-)

If I can make either, I can make both. :-)

Either day would be fine by me.

And there's no way in hell that I'm playing Assumption. Admittedly, it isn't actually on Halloween/Sawhain, but that just treads a bit too much in to actual scary territory rather than fun scary territory. It's all well and good to treat tarot cards as toys if you don't believe they're anything more than that, but some of us do, and stories have more power than one might think. < creeped out shiver > Frankly, I don't think I even want to watch.

But that's just me. And as you say, there will be other things happening.

I like the idea of a labyrinth, and I'd love to help, except for the whole tricky working thing.... how far before the even would you be making it?

was the actual game described well enough to actually play?

We can't make it, unfortunately...DaMan is busy on Saturday and we're hosting Tea on Sunday. Blarg. But in your honor, I will make assumptions all day!

Amazingly enough, the 2nd and 3rd both work for me, and, I believe, for R. Assumption makes me a little nervous, but am willing to experiment if it doesn't involve using the actual tarot cards. And I like labyrinths a lot - if you end up doing the 3rd, maybe I can help you with a labyrinth on the second?
